Students are encouraged to participate in exciting research projects in our lab. We have projects involving various applications of signal processing and imaging. You can register under Undergraduate Research (ESE 497) or Independent Study (ESE 400). In some cases the project could be combined with a summer internship, study abroad, or publication of a paper, etc. Below you can find links to examples of new, current, and completed projects.
